Clinique Goodies

Hey friends!

I just wanted to say, thank you for reading and leaving comments. It means a ton to have your support :)

Today I bring to you some Clinique goodies gifted to me in a small palette, but who have sisters that are full-sized and ready to buy.

The top two shadows are from the 'Come Heather' color surge eye shadow trio which retails for $21. They are a dark plum and a shimmery nude.

The blush is called 'New Clover' and retails for $23. It is a soft dusty pink.

This is part of the free promotion that Clinique is doing with Tracy Reese.
If you buy $25 worth of product, you get this baby and a bunch of other fun things. Worth it!

'New Clover' is really sheer on my skin. It serves more as a pinky highlight than a blush for me. It takes over 5 swatches to get any color. Maybe this is just because it is a sample? Who knows.

The eye shadows are much better. The nude is matte with glitter embedded. Interesting combo. It doesn't come off frosty at all. The plum is dark and unique. Very smoky and easy to wear.

Final Thoughts: If you have product to buy at the Clinique counter, pick this up! If not, order the 'Come Heather trio' only :)

Price: NA
Color Wearability: 8/10
Packaging: NA
Staying Power: 10/10
Quality/Branding: 9/10

Total: 28/30 = A = Pretty Panda.

Do you usually like Clinique products? I find them reliable, but I am sad about this blush. Does anyone have it in full size?

Savannah Bee Co. Lip Tint

I love buying fun products when I travel. A review on this one has taken me a while because I visited Georgia about 2 months ago, but better late than never!

The Savannah Bee Company was a cute little store that I found. They sell the most delicious honey, skin products, and lip products. All are natural and organic.

This particular one is called 'Tupelo Honey Shimmer', Tupelo being the smell/type of honey infused in this dark tinted balm. It is sweet and earthy at the same time. The smell is honestly the best part of these products.

On skin it swatches a rich, coppery brown with a hint of red. The brown is a little less noticeable on lips.

These taste great, and feel lovely on lips. So comfortable to wear and the shimmer and tint are just extras!

Interested in checking out what they have to offer? Click here. Their website is gorgeous! Or if you are in Savannah, Georgia -- stop by!

Final Thoughts: You may not have one of these stores around the corner, but they are worth the look!

Price: 9/10
Staying Power: 8/10
Packaging: 9/10
Color/Wearability: 9/10
Quality/Branding: 10/10

Total: 45/50 = A- = Happy Panda!

What do you think of this fun find?
